Men have very few options for changing their looks. While we ladies can almost completely transform every day with makeup, push-up bras, hairdos, and heels, dudes are pretty much stuck with what God gave 'em. This week, though, the BBC called us out: High heels used to be a guy thing! Well, until the mid-1700s at least.

While men might not wear stilettos right now, they do rock boots with a raised heel and even lifts sometimes. (Tom Cruise is reportedly a fan of both.)

A quick poll of girlfriends last night showed that no woman really wants to date someone shorter than her. That doesn't mean she won't, it's just that the guy can get a complex about it and frankly it's just kind of awkward to tower over a dude when you wear heels. The flip side is never wearing heels when you date a short dude, and...who wants that?

Frankly, I'm okay with a guy enhancing his height with boots or lifts—what's the difference between me wearing a push-up bra and my man wearing shoes that give him a boost? If they make him feel good about himself and allow me to rock my stilettos, everybody wins.
